KIN 6025 – Special Topics: Foundations of Coaching and Testing in Sports Performance   Interpret the table of test results from women’s basketball players to understand the story the data tells you about the athletes. Utilize this data to develop a concrete strength and conditioning plan of action for both the group as a whole, and individual athletes based on the test results. Evidence-Based Rationale: Justify your selection of specific tests and key performance indicators for your theoretical training program. You can choose to incorporate all the tests or a subset. Data Analysis: Analyze the provided data to draw meaningful conclusions about the groups and individuals’ current athletic abilities. Utilize normative data as a reference point to contextualize your findings.   In simpler terms, your task is to uncover what the data reveals about the athletes’ current status and needs. How will this data guide your theoretical programming decisions? What specific strategies and tactics will you employ to enhance the development of both the group and individual athletes?   Please note that you are not required to create an actual training program based on the data. Instead, the aim is to critically assess the athletes’ testing results and formulate a plan of action to address the identified areas of improvement.   Table 1 Continued (Same athlete number corresponds to specific athlete for all tests included in all tables)

KIN 6040 – Finance and Economics of Sport    While facility financing trends show that the public sector continues to pay the greatest share of new sport facility costs, a number of recent factors indicate a shift toward franchise owners paying a greater proportion of venue development costs. Identify and discuss factors that account for why owners are contributing an increasingly larger share of the costs of the venues in which their teams are playing.

KIN 6036 – Clinical Exercise Testing and Interpretation   CPEX Reveals Difference between CVD and Lung Disease   During a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPEX) certain indicators of functional capacity can be evaluated to differentiate whether any limitations are because of a heart or lung issue.  We can conclude right off the bat that if there is a function problem then we will typically observe a low VO2Max for both lung and heart issues.   However, there are several responses and observations during a CPEX that can help us evaluate which is the limiter – heart vs lung.  A few of these differentiating variables are listed below.   Reason for stopping the test (dyspnea vs leg fatigue) Low or high heart rate reserve  Normal or low VE reserve Lower O2 pulse (which one) A decreased VT vs No VT (or RCP) observed   To answer this exam question use the variables above to describe what you would likely find in a patient with lung disease versus a person with cardiovascular disease.  How would these variables respond.  Probably the best way to set-up your answer is with two columns; one for CVD and one for lung disease and then describe how the variables would present on each side.  You should also provide some justification for why the variable responds the way it does for each side (e.g., why is VE reserve low, etc.)
